I select certain playlists in iTunes so frequently that I've created AppleScripts to display them, and then bound them to keyboard shortcuts with FastScripts.
Here's an AppleScript for displaying my "New Podcasts" playlist:
tell application "iTunes"
set view of (browser window 1) to user playlist "New Podcasts"
end tell
And here's an AppleScript for displaying "Music":
tell application "iTunes"
set view of (browser window 1) to user playlist 1
end tell
I'd like to be able to go to "Downloads" (while new podcasts are downloading), but I can't figure out how to do it from an AppleScript. I've tried set view of (browser window 1) to user playlist 1
with various numbers instead of 1, and set view of (browser window 1) to user playlist "Downloads"
, but none of these work. I don't see any sign of Downloads in the iTunes AppleScript Dictionary.
Is it possible to set the view to "Downloads" from AppleScript? How?
tell application "System Events" to tell process "iTunes"
tell outline 1 of scroll area 2 of window "iTunes"
set statictexts to value of static text of rows
repeat with i from 1 to number of statictexts
if ((item i of statictexts) as text) starts with "Downloads" then
set value of attribute "AXSelected" of row i to true
return
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
